Inserting an Email Address with hyperlink into a Mail Merge Letter

[AClaborn]

I have created a mail merge letter template that uses Quick Parts Fields such as MergedField and Hyperlink to write my letter using ALT F9 to see the fields. I am having an issue inserting email addresses to have the correct hyperlink when clicked after the mail merge is complete. The text is displayed correctly from the merge; so that the email address is blue and underlined, but when you hoover over the link or try to control click on the link it says that the link is not valid. I have tried to find a Quick Parts email address field or modify the Hyperlink field to include "mailto:" which does correct the issue but then the words mailto: show up in my final document.



I have a 200 page document with multiple references of different email addresses and they all need to be clickable hyperlink email addresses. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
